The guy had more bandwidth than any other mind in football at the time except Walsh.
It's really too much to ask I know, but that's what I hope Taylor has. That's what's been missing. I mean there was a lot to like with Marvin Lewis and his era here.
But the guy that's going to take us to the next level has got to not only be professional, he has to be a big picture guy who can handle or delegate the details.
I have felt that the Bengals had a fair amount of professionalism - old school style. But I don't think they had someone who had a superior vision:I feel like the great coaches have those things - plus the old school toughness that trickles down to the players. That's what I think of when I think of Belichick, Reid, Carroll, Payton, etc. That's what I think I see in Reich.
- How to utilize the players we have
- How to get the missing pieces
- How to turn the strengths of opponents on their heads
- How not to be too predictable
- How to adjust on the fly
- How to give your players confidence that they (coaching and players) are just better than everybody else.
- How to not miss the little things that have big consequences
We're not likely to get the whole package. I want, at least the superior vision.
But I say, "Is it too much to ask for both?"
Great post, this is what we need. Atleast we have a chance now, Taylor seems really confident and he is a great communicator, that is a start. He comes from those coaches in LA that are very aggressive which is what you need to have to beat the Patriots, that is how the Eagles beat them in the SB last year. I think we have the players to succeed we just needed the coaching.
Hard to even judge your players when you have bad coaching.
